"System, convert all my purple and gold Talent Traits!"
He glanced at the system panel he had not checked in ages and discovered that his points had accumulated to a staggering 5,400.
Of course, that enormous number of points had not come out of nowhere.
Ever since Shinichi had ousted Danzo and the Third Hokage over a year ago, the situation throughout the shinobi world had undergone massive changes. In particular, the paths of many Konoha ninja had changed.
At first, the constant system notifications had nearly driven Shinichi to a nervous breakdown, so he had simply told the system to mute them.
Over time, as Shinichi immersed himself in his comfortable life, he gradually forgot about the matter.
After all, even without converting more Talent Traits, his strength had already reached the ceiling of the shinobi world. For that very reason, his desire to grow stronger was no longer as intense as before.
But things were different now. The appearance of the [synthesis genius] Talent Trait had suddenly shown him another path that could take him beyond the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
[Ding! Successfully converted the Talent Traits requested by the host. 5,000 points consumed!]
"Fuse them now! Fuse every trait below gold rank!"
Forcing down his anticipation, Shinichi immediately gave the order.
[Talent Trait fusion ability activated! Talent Traits successfully fused!] [Converting heavenly power immediately! Please receive it, host!]
As the system notifications sounded, Shinichi felt an unprecedented, terrifying energy pour into his body. It flooded every part of him from the inside out, down to every last cell, which erupted in joyous cheers like a surging river.
Shinichi could sense with perfect clarity that his body was undergoing a miraculous, indescribable change. His entire being felt weightless, as though his soul were leaving his body.
